I need a REALLY good book to read, any book...any suggestions?

Question

I haven't just sat down and read a book in a long time! I'm overdue!

Answer 1

Dear i'm for the time being wanting to indulge in reading some good classics such as Wuthering Heights, Pride and Prejudice and To kill a mocking bird again. A variety of selection for fantasy books could be Harry potter series or you could also opt for Twlight series. God of small things by Arundhathi Roi, Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri which won the pultilizer prize will you give you some food for thought after you have put the book down. Bookss of Paulo Coelho such as The Alchemist, Eleven minutes are mainly philosiphical and they will bring a very diffferent flicker of light in your mind. Veronica decides to die is a fabulous read although. Reading is a very personal thing so you better choose books of your own taste than rather caring for opinions. Have a great reading time.  

Answer 2

Read Count Down, I forgot who wrote it but I remember really liking it! Maybe even read, um, A time to kill by John Grisham, i finished it in like a week... anyway, try reading Three Wishes by Barbra...something.. I really liked it!

Answer 3

My favorite books were the Maximum Ride series by James Patterson. Also, Uglies by Scott Westerfield is really good. The Twilight Saga also are great books to read. Hope I helped!

Answer 4

Depends on what kind of books you like

I'm big on fiction, others are into fantasy though.

A great book I just read (one of my favorites) would be

"Bright Shiny Morning" by James Frey -great book to read whenever

"Water for Elephants" by Sara Gruen -book that stands out

"The Kite Runner" by Khaled Hosseini -life perspective changing book

Fantasy books would be

The Twilight series. My friend's turned me onto these, great fantasy series, I like it and I hate fantasy books.

Answer 12

Bats, Brats, and Stats - George Brennan, Jr.

Answer 13

i wouldnt suggest Twilight as others have done because that book is bad with bad writting and bad morals. Read good books such as The Catcher in the Rye, On the Jellicoe Road, Lord of the Flies and A Clockwork Orange. Those are goods books.

have you read Harry Potter or a Series of Unfortunate Events? they are also good books. Holes by Louis Sachar is also good with a lot of good morals and good writing.

Answer 14

Answer 15

The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger.

I could not put this book down. I recommend it to everyone.

"It is an unconventional love story that centers on a man with a strange genetic disorder that causes him to unpredictably time-travel, and his wife, an artist who has to cope with his frequent absences and dangerous experiences. In this book, unlike many other time travel stories, it is not possible to change the past or future."

-From Wikipedia

Answer 16

A thousand splendid suns by Khaled Hosseini - I couldn't put it down.

Answer 17

Well...

harry potter it really really good.

But most people have already read that.

ummm... The twilight saga it great - but if you do read this, read it from the point of view of a jacob fan, not an edward fan. You'll like it more, trust me i've dont both. Jakes viewis more complex i think.
